A YouTube coupon code is a credit that can be applied to a movie or TV show rental or purchase. Coupon codes can only be redeemed for the indicated purpose. For example, if you received a coupon code for a movie rental, you cannot apply the credit to a TV show purchase.
You can redeem a coupon code on a computer or using selected mobile devices.
To redeem a coupon code on computer:
- Go to the Movies & shows page or search on YouTube for a movie or TV show that you'd like to buy or rent.
- Click the button displaying the purchase or rental price.
- Select Enter a promotional code under the movie or TV show poster and type in the code that you received.
- Select the purchase or rental option of your choice.
- Your movie rental or purchase price will be displayed with the updated price depending on the amount of discount. However, you must select a valid method of payment to redeem your no-cost movie or TV show. Select your preferred form of payment and tap Buy.

Common troubleshooting tips for coupon codes:
- Verify that you've entered the coupon code in the correct field. YouTube coupon codes will not work in the 'Redeem Google Play gift card or promo code' field.
- Make sure that you've entered the code correctly. Pay attention to upper-case or lower-case letters in the code.
- Make sure that you are using the coupon code for its intended purpose. For example, if you've received a coupon code for a no-cost movie or TV show rental, you cannot use the code to purchase another type of content.
- Verify that your coupon code is still valid:
- Check the expiry date: some coupon codes must be used before a set date. If you have a code that says 'only for a limited time', the expiry date will be indicated on the coupon code or in the email that you received.
- Check if the coupon code has already been used. Once a code has been used once, you cannot use the same code to get another no-cost movie or TV programme.
- Verify that you've selected a valid form of payment before clicking Buy to complete the discounted purchase or rental of your movie or TV show.
